DESCRIPTION:“Let us recall that formerly\, and at no remote epoch\, an u
 nusual rain or an extreme drought […] were all regarded as signs of cele
 stial wrath. Heaven was invoked to avert their baneful influence. As these
  phenomena\, occurring and disappearing at long intervals\, seemed to oppo
 se the order of nature it was supposed that Heaven\, irritated by the crim
 es of earth\, had created them to announce its vengeance.” --- Pierre Si
 mon Laplace\nToday\, these same phenomena are attributed\, in part\, to gl
 obal warming\, and costly schemes are proposed to counter them. Are these 
 schemes better justified than the prayers of bygone centuries? We cast an 
 eye over the evidence.
